Dental work: All dental work including fillings, extraction, root canal, cleaning, or any other procedure should not break your fast as long as you do not swallow water. […]

رمضانُ البِلاد
أما رمضان فكلكم تعرفونه، وأما البِلاد، فهذا مصطلح يقصد به المغتربون العرب في أمريكا بلادهم التي جاءوا منها، بل بالأخص يقصدون به فلسطين بالدرجة الأولى، ودرج تداوله على ألسنة الناس كثيراً، فصار يفهم منه البلاد العربية على اختلافها بحسب المستخدم لهذه اللفظة. أما رمضان في البلاد فأمر مختلف تماماً، لا نود الحديث عن أمر الطاعة […]

Our Homes, Our Blessings
In the beginning of the civil war in Lebanon in 1974, I remember getting out from school on the sound of a big explosion that shook the city of Tripoli Lebanon. As I ran with people toward the sound of the explosion, I saw the fire and smoke coming out from the seven-story building we […]
Ambitions vs Goals
In the age in which hard work is a rarity and the easy way has become the only way of getting the job done, the audacity to achieve the greatest of achievements is still present. Is it ethical for individuals to set their mind to achieve the greatest result when there is minimal sacrifice or […]
لا تكن وحدك
لا تكن وحدك رُفقاءُ الذِّكْر.. أعيروني قلوبكم قليلاً.. لنا في أصفياء الله قدوة.. موسى الكليم عليه السلام يصف لنا مشهداً مشرقاً، يناشد الله في هارون ” واجعل لي وزيراً من أهلي” هارون الوزير الأمين ،ملاذ موسى في البشر يستأنس به في الأيام كلها، يركنُ إليه في الشدائد يأوي إليه في الحيرة و الألم.. ” هارون […]
